Private Aviation on Your Terms.

The Mente Aviation Charter Card™ puts a vetted fleet at your command — guaranteed access, flexible per-trip flying, no per-trip authorization hassle.

THE CHARTER CARD™

One Deposit. A Vetted Fleet at Your Command.

The Charter Card is a deposit account, not an aircraft purchase — fund it once, fly trip by trip. No share to resell, no aircraft on your balance sheet. Trip payment, incidentals, the usage fee, and renewal all draw from that deposit, so a flight takes a phone call, not a purchase order.

1

Fund the Card

A $100,000 initial deposit opens it; a $25,000 minimum balance keeps it active.

2

Tell us the trip

We run a feasibility study and compare at least three charter options for it.

3

Fly

Payment, incidentals, and the usage fee draw from the deposit while we follow the flight and handle changes.
